This 1 Habit Can Completely Rebuild Your Life

As a culture, we get very wrapped up in “what”
we’re going to become, instead of how we become it.
We worry about where we will end up instead of focusing on the journey.
We strive for the end of the rainbow without playing in the rain along the way.
This “end-all” thinking is what leads many astray.
They spin their wheels, they work really hard, they tire themselves and burn the candle at
both ends and still don’t end up reaching their goal.
To be honest, most of them forget what their original intention was in the first place.
They lose themselves in the weeds instead of stepping back and seeing the forest.
Here’s the thing: It all stems from who you are and what you
do today. If you want to drastically improve your life
in a single day, you need to approach your day, every day, as if it’s your last.
Here’s how you can do that: Success begins in the morning.
The easiest way to practice doing what you say you’re going to do is to wake up when
you say you’re going to wake up. If you set your alarm the night before for
6 A.M., and you hit the snooze instead, you’ve just broken your first promise of the day.
Wake up on the first alarm. Keep that promise to yourself. I am relentless about practicing discipline.
We live in a culture where notifications plague our coveted personal space.
E-mails. Texts. Phone calls. Slack pop-ups. Everywhere we go, people can reach us, and
it prevents us from ever really diving into what Cal Newport refers to as “deep work.”
Find opportunities in your day to practice deep focus.
For example: If you are going to sit down to work on something particular, remove all
distractions. Turn off Slack, turn your phone on silent,
turn off your e-mail, etc. A focused hour and a half is worth so much
more than an unfocused three or four hours. You’ll be amazed how much you can accomplish
in a short amount of time when you aren’t constantly disrupting your train of thought. It’s no secret that health, wellness, and
fitness are an important element of business and entrepreneurship.
If you spend all day in front of a laptop, up in your head, thinking and solving problems
and over-clocking your logic and reasoning muscles, then it is extremely important that
you take an hour (minimum) at the beginning or end of the day to get back in your body.
Some prefer going to the gym. Some enjoy yoga or playing recreational basketball.
No matter what it is, make time to get back into your body.
You will be so much more productive and excited about your work. This is one of the most underrated values,
but I believe it is one of the most important. Discipline is a muscle, and it requires practice.
In order to become a disciplined person, you have to create opportunities for yourself
to practice discipline. Take things that are easy to overindulge in
and see how long you can go without them. Give up sugar and candy.
Give up alcohol. Give up watching TV before you go to bed.
Train yourself to let go of things that do not serve your bigger purpose, and get that
muscle acclimated to making decisions from a wider perspective.
People that have mastered self discipline are tremendously powerful in manifesting their
intentions. They understand the value of each and every
life choice, which means they don’t take anything for granted.
Discipline is difficult to acquire, but extremely valuable to those willing to put in the time
and effort. At the end of the day, instead of doing something
mindless, prepare yourself for the next day. Use this quiet time to begin preparing yourself
for what is to come. My suggestion would be to keep a journal.
Reflect on the day and make note of what you accomplished and what you left on the table,
what things you did well and where you fell short.
Audit yourself and see where you can improve — and then write down what you’re going to do
differently the next day. This is a habit most people shrug off without
ever giving it a fair chance. It is so simple, and that’s the point.
It shouldn’t take you more than ten minutes, but it can have a drastic impact on the flow
of your life. Bonus points for those who can wake up the
next morning and re-read what they wrote, reminding themselves of how they are going
to improve today.

My suggestion is that you use a principal calledRepetitive Relentless Simplicity

You do same thing every single day, which includes good sleeping and eating habits, as well as physical activities, and become master of your craft, by doing something within your passion. Make it your priority and the result will be stunning.

Journaling and habit tracking are incredibly important for all this! And it's been really helpful for me to put my life together and see everything statistically. Check out the "Daylio" and "Habits" apps. 🙂 Oh and also plan setting in any note app too

If today was my last day on earth the last things I would want to do are exercise, work, and practice discipline with every decision. I’d be making very bad choices for the long term while making excellent gratifying choices for the short… while I think it’s good and beneficial to keep your own mortality in the back of your mind (after contemplating it you realize all the petty bullshit is nonsense and focus on the things that truly matter) acting as tho your going to die tomorrow makes all these habits you mentioned then seem pointless and arbitrary… however if you understand that you are going to die someday you’ll be more incentivized to make it last as long as you can and as comfortable as possible while enjoying every moment… I don’t exercise because I’m going to die I exercise so my quality of life is better for longer… you should work hard and save and invest not because your going to die but because your not going to be able to do it forever and you want your quality of life to be as good as possible for as long as possible… don’t live like your going to die tomorrow, live like your going to die in your 60’s-70’s-80’s, your future self will thank you for it

I like the idea of discipline as making sure every single decision you make adheres to your values. That really is the key to developing discipline. If you are unsure what your values are then you will never be disciplined. Then once you've established your values it just comes down to practice to rewire old habits of thinking with new habits of thinking.

Or think of yourself as a video game character, you must have full bars to pass to the next level.. these are the bars 1- strength ( workout)2- focused( meditate, and quit social media 3-knowledge, to pass the level( same in life read books on what you are trying to achieve)4- take actions 5- believe( just like playing game, you don’t quit till you pass the level) 6- meditate, and reflect( so the next day you are aware of what not to do)7- don’t compare your self to anyone ( when you playing a game , you do this by just focusing on your mission, you don’t focus on where is the other players) Finally enjoy life it’s a game.

I'm gonna start slow and set an alarm and promise myself that I'll follow it. I need to acquire that self control and assertiveness about my actions that says "if you want to do X, and the laws of physics allow it, you'll get it done". It's a long road but I'm willing to start building the traits that support that type of person. Thank you, this was a simple yet informative narration. Best wishes to you! And yes, I liked and subscribed 😊

This video completely contradicts itself. In the introduction it says behave as if today is your last day on earth, go out and play in the rain. Then it goes on to say get up early, be disciplined, and plan for tomorrow – why would you do that if today was your last day?

Focus on the journey instead of where we want to end up. Approach everyday as if it were your last.1) Don't snooze.2) Avoid distractions. 3) Exercise. 4) Practice discipline. (let go of things that don't serve your purpose) 5) Reflect before bed.

If I approached everyday as it were my last why in the hell would I work on building anything? All success, personal and financial, is delaying gratification in order to achieve some future goal. Of course you have to enjoy or at least tolerate what you're doing. But as they say, no pain no gain.

I just break everything into fixed daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and bi yearly goals. That'll cover your hygene, food, health, current job, bills, maintenance, etc… Then any extra stuff like being a body builder or billionaire are luquid goals. You break them into progressing baby goals to hit the top.

I hate the saying "Live every day as if it was your last". If it was my last day I sure as hell would not spend it working and trying to improve myself would I? Instead of using the tired old cliche why not say take every day at a time or something…
